I often wonder about the grand scheme of things... where do I fit in? Am I headed in the right direction? Why am I so unlucky in love? Why do I have to work so hard to get things that others get easily? What is the purpose of me being here?......you now get a peek into the life of a fellow who feels held back by invisible chains....curious?

why honesty leads to greater bonding

Is this a blinding flash of the obvious or what? (Yes, I too am a fan of Dilbert!)

The more honest you are in any relationship; the more you open up to someone and share your opinions, hopes, dreams, ambitions, fears.... the more vulnerable you make yourself. It is the awareness of the fact that someone has lowered their defenses/shields and trusted you with their secrets, that leads to a greater bonding..... and ultimately an excellent relationship based on mutual trust.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ... (1 Corinthians 13) The Holy Bible
